Geocache map does not allow drag to reposition

[+cazmockett]

I have recently had to "upgrade" my laptop to Windows 7. Since I have done so, I noticed that the map cannot be dragged around to reposition it, but this only occurs in the latest Chrome Browser (Version 23.0.1271.64 m)

 

It seems to behave normally if I use Firefox (16.0.2) or (god forbid) Internet Explorer (v9).

 

With Chrome, when you go to "pick up" the map and move it by click/drag with the mouse, the cache overlays appear to move but the underlying map tiles do not. The map never recentres itself when you let go of the mouse button, thus rendering it pretty unsuseable. Wouldn't be so bad if the map had pan left/right/up/down controls...

I am not seeing this behavior. I am running Chrome on Windows 7 and the map pans as expected for me. Are you running any add-on?

No add-ons to Chrome that I know of, it's a vanilla install.

 

The behaviour happens with the laptop trackpad and my Wacom tablet. Haven't tried it with a mouse since I can't use one due to RSI. Buy they are both consistently not working with Chrome and OK with Firefox or IE. Most odd

I have Windows 7 and the latest Chrome browser. I removed all the extensions. Nothing special. I can't drag to reposition either, or click on any caches. I have to bring up Firefox for this.

I figured it out. I changed the Map Preferences to "Google" from "Leaflet".

Click "Map Preferences" on the left side, click "select" under Google.

 

I guess the "Leaflet" map preference doesn't work with Chrome.

Never noticed that option on the left side! Thanks. But I would call it a workaround, rather than a fix

 

I do generally prefer Google maps but sometimes want to switch to Open Street Map which shows many more footpaths for my areas of interest. It's a pain, but at least it "sort of" works.

 

Not sure what happens if you are a non-premium member - I don't think they get the option to switch to Google Maps.

Panning in Leaflet works fine for me in Chrome.

Unfortunately mine does not, and hasn't worked for a long time. Removal and Re-install of Chrome didn't work. Hopefully it'll eventually fix itself.

Works for me in Chrome, too.

 

Do you see any errors in the console? (ctrl-shift-J)

The errors I get in the console are:

 

Viewport argument value "device-width;" for key "width" not recognized. Content ignored.

Viewport argument value "1.0;" for key "initial-scale" was truncated to its numeric prefix.

Viewport argument value "1.0;" for key "maximum-scale" was truncated to its numeric prefix.

Viewport argument value "1.0;" for key "minimum-scale" was truncated to its numeric prefix.

Viewport argument value "no;" for key "user-scalable" not recognized. Content ignored.

Amazingly, I still repro the bug on my Surface, Windows 10, vanilla chrome. 

 

Changing the "Leaflet" map preference fixed it, and I also never realized the option is there.

 

Thank you, cazmockett!
